问题     In China, it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the West, this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true【C1】______women, and even more【C2】______if the inquirer is a man. However, it is very【C3】______to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind【C4】______either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to【C5】______their age, especially if they feel they look young【C6】______their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 【C7】______question like "How old are you?" If elderly people want to talk about their age and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily【C8】______the topic themselves, and ask the other person to【C9】______how old they are.【C10】______such a situation, it is quite acceptable to discuss age【C11】______. They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than【C12】______that they look very old!【C13】______westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not【C14】______that they are not interested to know how old other people are. They may ask【C15】______for the information,【C16】______they may try to【C17】______the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational【C18】______and the number of years of working experience may provide some【C19】______, but this is not always the【C20】______
【C3】
